Oh wow, Susan and family! How marvellous. I wonder when it might land down under? My grandies will love this ...

Congratulations to you all. The illustrations on the cover are beautiful.

Having a donkey in the countryside is so common. However, when I was a kid, I would shepherd sheep but I had only a dog not a donkey. My perspective to donkeys, they are like pet and so helpful and so wonderful.

Looks like a lovely book. Have you considered giving a percentage of proceeds to a charity?

I love the title, especially because the name Norman was my Dad’s name. ☺️
